The upper room has only four windows, and that to the right of the entrance is presumably a replacement of the original. The position of the fireplace can still be seen in the west wall.

St. Louis, Missouri has three standpipe water towers which are on the National Register of Historic Places. A great Halloween read-aloud, good for grades 3+, with large, bright illustrations and tons to discuss... The characters are illustrated in a lifelike manner, and some are positioned as if they are looking right at us. How does that make us feel and how does that change the story? Why would the author and illustrator want to change the direction of the layout throughout the book? What do you think Bubba saw when he was by himself in the water tower and why didn���t the author let us know?Like Crew's masterfully bizarre Strange Objects , this story devolves in the weird, sunblasted landscape of coastal Australia. This time, however, the author falters a bit in blending the paranormal Continue reading » Currently using this book as part of a Year 5 'suspense and mystery' unit, with a boy-heavy class with many behavioural challenges. I can honestly say I have never seen these children respond to any lesson as enthusiastically as they did when I showed them this story. This book draws you in right from the beginning with the cover. The cover is eerie and also has some foreshadowing to what is to come. This is a great mystery book for children and I really believe that older children will love it. Much of this vast labour work was undertaken by the consummate railway engineer Thomas Brassey (1805-1870) who was born at Buerton near Chester. He built many railway stations, including the grand one here in Chester, as well as laying thousands of miles of line not only throughout Britain, but also in France, Italy, Canada, the Crimea, Argentina, Australia, and India. This great man is remembered in his home city merely by a plaque on the station wall and Brassey Street, a little sidestreet near the waterworks in Boughton. A brief biography of Mr Brassey may be found at Wikisource.

It is a fantastic book, with beautiful illustrations that my class and I pored over together for a good few lessons, noticing lots of small details and something new each time we looked at the book again. The text itself does not give much detail which adds to the mystery. The water tower is extremely creepy, and it feels that the two unsuspecting characters are walking into a trap by going there. The creepy residents of the town are never explained, but are seen with the strange symbol on their hands and clothes, looking towards the water tower as if in a trance. We don't even know what happens to Bubba at the end of the story, and why he suddenly changes in the way in talks and behaves. He lives with his wife Christine on several acres in the cool, high mountains of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Queensland, Australia in a house called 'Green Mansions' which is shaded by over 200 Australian rainforest palms he has cultivated. He enjoys gardening, reading, and playing with his dogs Ferris, Beulah, and Miss Wendy. In his spare time he has created an Australian Rainforest Garden around his home, filled with Australian palms. Gary loves to visit antique shops looking for curios and beautiful objects. Although Crew's The Watertowerwon The Australian Children's Picturebook of the Year after it was published, the intended audience for this book is between 9 - 15 year-old students, perhaps even older students and adults. Paulsen (1995) writes, "[M]ore often than not they are written for older readers rather than youngsters you might expect. . . . So while Gary Crew is primarily marketed as a children's writer, he is not constrained by marketing boundaries. Indeed many of his books are ageless, able to be enjoyed by children and adults alike." Paulsen (1995) also suggests "The Watertower belongs to a new niche in children's literature, that of the picture book for mid-primary to mid-secondary readers . . . kids aged from nine to fifteen. According to Crew it is 'based on the notion that children, especially older boys, still love looking at pictures, but are generally intellectually insulted by the childish fare (in both print and visual text) that they are served up.'" The golf ball-shaped tank of the water tower at Gonzales, California is supported by three tubular legs and reaches about 125ft (38m) high. [22] [23] [24]World's Tallest Water Sphere?".

Reading Standpipe (demolished in 1999 and replaced by a modern steel tower), in Reading, Massachusetts In the award-winning book THE WATERTOWER, readers were introduced to the small town of Preston and the old watertower that stands outside the town.
